The man who enters the counting room without exercise in the morning, and who returns to his home at night without resorting to any physical exhilaration by which his whole muscular power shall be fully tested, does constant violence to his nature; and il, by amok. ing or drinking or social excitement, he puts the snurs into his physical life, he is just so far shortening his existence in the world by using up vital forces which might otherwise prolong it. It is often more important after forty that a man should arrange for constant and physical exercise than it is in the years when his powers are in the freshness of their early vigor, and the strain which men put upon themselves in active business or professional life is now ad great that, unless they persistently and faithfully develop their physical resources as a matter of fidelity to their own selves, they constantly impair their vitality and consume their strength,

The new Emperor of Germany has been busy since he came to the throne in organising a syndicate of sovereigns against Republicanism as represented by France, and if the Czar of Russia were not a muddled fet a syndicate ef monarchs would be complete by this time, with Walismock articles of association which would bind each to crush those pestilent things-liberal ideas- wherever they began to be troublesome. Liberal ideas are incompatible with the claims of the kne members of some half a-duz. families in Europe, more or less scrofule and predisposed, by in-and-in breeding, to imbecility, to take as much money as they wish to squander or hoarð from the rest of mankind.
It is among the best evidences extant of the existence of an over-ruling Providence that legal rankini ducive of senseless pride, which promits royal personages to imagine themselves defiled by any but illegitimate Tuisons with the rest of the human race, and thus involves the inevitable decadence in intellect and moral vigour of hereditary monarchs all over Christendom. Otherwise, there would be no possible escape for the mass of mankind from eternal spoliation and degradation. There Are, indeed, always a crew of clever vagabonds ready for a share of the plunder to officiate as the panders of Sovereigns, and to act as "appers" when their effete
So universal is this wasteful consumption of vital energies that it is hardly possible to find men in the ordinary walks of active life who do not confess that, by the neglect of their physical culture, they have impaired their strength and weakened their vital force. With all that is said for athletics among the younger men, It is believed that their necessity among the older men is very imperfectly understood, and that the physical exercise of men in middle life might be increased many fold without bringing thens up to the proper standard of a well-intellectual faculties fall into a comatose condition balanced physical and mental life. The truth is that when a man has reached forty years of age he thinks he can take care of himself. He is willing to discount his strength. he will take risks and ventures: he believes that he can do anything; he makes a habit of doing too much; before he is aware of it he has divorced his mental from his physical activity; the pressure of great enterprises is upon him, and he rises with herculean strength to his tasks; but all the while he borrows from his vital forces without repayment, and, without thinking or believing that be is taxing himself, he is brought up with a round turn and compelled to account for the use of his physical forces. The men who are persistent 10 the last degree in the care of their bodies are the men who have the inning of the future. The point of success with ordinary men, equally with great men,
But, happily, monarchs have officially mated with female fools of their own breed-for prince; hegetting purposes-for so many generations that the qualities of fatuous Arrogance and imbécile wrong-headedness have become so aggravated that they are utterly incapable of even allowing themselves to be propped up.

THE EPOCH OF SYNDICATES.
The present is not, says a writer in the Sydney Bulletin, more remarkable than the past as regards the prevalence of syndicates. Such combinations have existed ever since the Primeval Lulless ape segregated in groups and combinat to houses or chouse their congeers out of a grave of coconuts. One of the most ancient syndices of which we have record was also the most daring and comprehensive in its aims. It comprised, according to the story, the whole of mankind; and inasmuch as all mankind could have no one to rah or swindle unless they st to work to pick their own pockets-if they had any they aspired to no less a scheme than to explit Gid and His angels out of the fee simple of Heaven. We allude, of course, to the building of the Tower of Babel, shares in which, after rising several storeys high, fell with a crush tremendous that the exasperated holders of serin found one language insufficient to curse their luck in, in consequence of which a variety of tongues have since afflicted mankind. Joseph's brethren, somewhat later, formed themselves into a syndicate to grab his coat of many colours and divide it into allotments, with an extra bonus deivable from the cash receipts for Joseph him self, who was thrown in, and found himself, as many a victim of syndicates has since, in a con- siderable hole. Joseph himself, anticipating bis descendant Benjamin Disraeli by several thous and years, contrived

Columbus was another, smart man with big business nations. No one less than a sovereign was strong enough to chip in with his schemes, He speculated on a new world, and stipulated' with Ferdinand and Isabella for sharing terms.
Coming down to later times, all transactions took their colour in some degree from the epoch during which they were carried on. During the good old, cut-throat middle ages adventurers cased themselves in iron plates and went about forming combinations with other parties who knew of a neighbour with a flaw in his title, or, what amounted to the same thing, a defect in his one of a hundred similar conspiracies levies boiler-plates, and financed him with battle-axes annually more from the people of a modern and maces.

The dangger from royal syndicates is, it will be perceived from the foregoing, by no means so serious as it might be, considering the opportunities they enjoy by reason of the readiness of greedy and sagacious scoundrels to show them how to work the oracle, for a whack of the plunder, The actual and pressing danger of the epoch lies in humbler organisations. The perils of wholesale spoliation are inconsiderable when compared with the risks, of spoliation in detail. The knowing ones begin to give up Sovereigns as clumsy and unmanageable accomplices.
